He must have dreaded going into press conferences, to go through the diatribe he did. I firmly believe he was trying to do the right thing for the PGA Tour but why did he manage to put himself on the pedestal he did, and to allow that to happen?<\/p>\n<p>I think he lost a few fans, people got a bit fed up of Rory saying this, that and the other in the end. It was all engineered by the PGA Tour, that Rory would stand up for them.<\/p>\n<p>He definitely took his eye off the ball.<\/p>\n<h2>McIlroy\u2019s U-turn is a sign he is preparing to join LIV<\/h2>\n<p>It looks a bit like that doesn\u2019t it. I&#8217;m not speaking from any knowledge or heard anything, but if you were looking at it from the outside he has done such a turn that you would think he is paving the way for it not to be too bad for him if he signs with LIV.<\/p>\n<p><b>PGA brainwashed everyone to hate LIV, it was childish and ridiculous<\/b><\/p>\n<p>People have been brainwashed. Golf media for two years has hated LIV. Why? Because everyone has been told to hate LIV.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m very lucky to have the knowledge I\u2019ve got from 40-odd years in golf, and having stepped out I can look at what\u2019s going on and be able to say things, because it doesn\u2019t matter any more.<\/p>\n<p>The golf press has been absolutely indoctrinated by the PGA tour, and they\u2019ve been told \u2018if you do that with LIV you can\u2019t do anything with us\u2019. That\u2019s ridiculous.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the stuff that\u2019s gone on has been ridiculous.\u00a0 If a golf course holds a LIV event you can\u2019t host on the PGA Tour &#8211; it\u2019s a golf course for God\u2019s sake. The golf course hasn\u2019t done anything.<\/p>\n<p>It has been ridiculously childish.<\/p>\n<h2>Rory\u2019s Champions League idea is not new &#8211; Greg Norman came up with it in 1995<\/h2>\n<p>1995 Greg Norman had the idea. It\u2019s bizarre that it was Greg, but that\u2019s what his World Tour was all about. I think he was 65 and not 80 players, but it was exactly what they are talking about now, as if it is a new idea.<\/p>\n<p>Greg was that person, and Arnold Palmer was in one of the final meetings and Arnold Palmer stood up and said \u2018guys, this isn\u2019t for us\u2019. And they all walked.<\/p>\n<p>It always was a decent concept. And when they had the World Golf Championship events, that was a similar idea, the problem was the WGC were really owned by the PGA Tour so you ended up having five events in America and one for the rest of the world, and the Americans didn\u2019t go there.<\/p>\n<h2>R&amp;A\u2019s Open snub for Donald Trump\u2019s Turnberry is political and snobbery &#8211; his golf projects are great<\/h2>\n<p>It was political and snobbery. It\u2019s absolutely outrageous that the best links course in Britain doesn\u2019t have The Open. It was always very good but he made it better. Basically what he\u2019s done is move the course 100 yards nearer the sea.<\/p>\n<p>You can only do what he has done if you have big enough thoughts and the money to do it, but he\u2019s done an unbelievable job, it\u2019s just a great golf course. As is Aberdeen, Trump, West Palm Beach. His golf products are very good.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a stigma. There is a stigma associated with him and they\u2019ve just gone \u2018oh no we can\u2019t be doing that\u2019. If you wanted an unbelievable Championship that would be the place to have it. It\u2019s better than a lot of the other Open courses.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s a great character, I like him enormously. He\u2019s a very funny man &#8211; he doesn\u2019t know he\u2019s being funny, but he is. He\u2019s been great for golf. His golf product is fantastic, and he cam play you know. He\u2019s alright.<\/p>\n<h2>LIV is here to stay &#8211; golf has had to suffer to get to where it needs to get to<\/h2>\n<p>LIV is here to stay. I fortunately have met Yasir Al-Rumayyan, I\u2019ve had the benefit of time with him, and it was very, very interesting. He told me about Newcastle before it all happened, they\u2019ve got a lot of money and you can see what they are trying to do. Is it sport washing? It probably is, but it\u2019s only what other countries do. Other countries do exactly the same.<\/p>\n<p>Everybody talks about Saudi now, whether it be tennis, snooker. I see snooker is going there with a \u00a32million prize money. I\u2019m not sure they play for \u00a32million that often. They are at least putting themselves out there and on the map. Some of the things they get wrong in Saudi will be put right because they\u2019ve got all this international sport.<\/p>\n<p>I came to South Africa during the apartheid years, I don\u2019t think us coming to South Africa did anything but help the situation, rather than harm it.<\/p>\n<p>For everybody to come round to getting things right, LIV had to go through the spell it has gone through, and now it is beginning to get there.<\/p>\n<p>Golf has had to suffer to get to where it needs to get to. What we cannot underestimate is that massive change that has happened over the last two years, and that LIV have managed to survive that and have got a product that people are starting to understand.<\/p>\n<p>People are understanding that the good players on LIV are still good players. DJ won in Vegas just like he won when he was on the PGA Tour, he didn\u2019t look any different, he was focused and intense.<\/p>\n<p>People need to realise that the PGA Tour and LIV are not the same thing, it\u2019s not the same form of golf. It\u2019s like a T20 cricket compared to a Test match.<\/p>\n<p>I love cricket, and I have no qualms watching T20 and no qualms watching a Test match, but don\u2019t expect them to be the same, because they\u2019re not. It\u2019s the same with golf, three rounds is different from four, so when they tee it up on day one they are going at it. They are not trying to just get into the tournament, to be patient, they get after it early.<\/p>\n<h2>Tiger is starting his brand ten years late &#8211; he should be retired now and it\u2019s sad he can\u2019t retire just to promote the line<\/h2>\n<p>Tiger should have started doing his own brand ten years ago, then he would have been big. Michael Jordan\u2019s brand was developing as he was playing.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that if you&#8217;re a Nike athlete, Nike owns your brand. You are a Nike athlete and they dictate what you are doing. Jordan was so big he did that Air Jordan deal and got the royalties sorted. It\u2019s just a ridiculous amount of money.<\/p>\n<p>His TW logo never meant as much as it should have done, it was never as strong as it should have been, as strong as the Bear was or the Umbrella was.<\/p>\n<p>If Tiger had started ten years before his brand would be much stronger, and it probably should have been with Nike. It\u2019s suddenly odd that he\u2019s now with Taylor-Made<\/p>\n<p>I think he would have retired from playing without it, and that\u2019s sad that he\u2019s having to play.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not great what happened when he walked off the other week, and I\u2019m sure he was sick. But it just devalues some of the stuff he has done in his life. When you look at what he\u2019s done, and when you compare the stats of what Tiger has done compared to everybody else, you forget how good he was. His stats are staggering.<\/p>\n<h2>Koepka and G-Mac will love the thrill of racehorse ownership but it\u2019s too expensive for me<\/h2>\n<p>I don\u2019t own anything now, you learn in the end they are too expensive. One horse costs \u00a330,000 a year to train, plus you are buying it, which is maybe 30-50 grand. It\u2019s a very expensive hobby, but it takes a while to find out. You get swept along with it all, you\u2019ve had a winner and the trainer says he\u2019s got another nice one, and it\u2019s a case of \u2018oh go on then\u2019. You get carried away with it.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve signed to all the millions with LIV so to have a horse isn\u2019t as costly to them. It\u2019s a good horse.<\/p>\n<p>The thrill is so good, and they don\u2019t get injured doing it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/instantcasinos.com\/\">InstantCasinos<\/a> offers a wide range of Instant Withdrawal Casinos for players looking for quick access to their winnings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaking to InstantCasinos.com, Chandler said: Rory McIlroy\u2019s U-Turn stance shows he\u2019s preparing to join LIV Rory becoming the defender of the PGA was a terrible move Childish PGA brainwashed everyone to hate LIV but it\u2019s going nowhere and people are starting to see why Rory\u2019s Champions League idea is nothing new &#8211;
